My Travel Story

Studying abroad has always been a dream of mine. I love traveling and learning about different cultural backgrounds. God made us all unique, each of us in our own special way which is why I find it such a rewarding experience to meet new people and truly learn what they are like despite our cultural and language differences. Studying and living abroad will pay off in the long run by strengthening my ability to be a flexible, independent thinker who can work well with different kinds of people and be able to thrive under most working and living conditions.

I am a first-generation college student, therefore going to college alone has marked a difference in my family. At the moment, God has blessed me with financial support from my mom, a few family friends, and some government assistance through UCF, my home university. That alone covers about 60% of the overall cost. I'm underwaiting scholarships that I have already applied for and am currently saving from my personal finances to cover the rest of the 40% of the cost. YOUR contribution will help to alleviate the stressing factor of having to find the rest of the finances elsewhere. I have faith that the opportunity for me to go abroad is very plausible.

If you are able to donate, whether big or small ($1, $5 or even $10) I am sincerely grateful for your generosity. Regardless of your donation, I appreciate that you took the time to read this. I know this exceptional opportunity will broaden my horizons and give me the opportunity of a lifetime! Thank you in advance for your support and God bless you!

2. What are you studying?Currently, I am in my fourth year of college studying Business Management at UCF. In Italy, I will be working towards my International Business minor.

3. Are you going alone?Thankfully NO! My friend Daniela is going as well. We are both very excited but also nervous because neither of us have been to Italy!

4. Will you learn another language?YES! Even though classes are in English, I am required to take an Italian course! Soon I will be trilingual….HELLO! HOLA! CIAO!
